Konftel and Huawei Get Together in Cloud Communications

Businesses and organizations all over the world are moving their communication solutions to the cloud in a rapid pace. Some important drivers are the shift from CAPEX to OPEX expense models, pay-per-use for feature rich collaboration solutions including mobile support and the overall scalability and flexibility. The leading analyst firms predict a yearly growth between 15 and 20 percent for Cloud-based Telephony and Messaging.

A key player in the Cloud Enterprise Communications market place is Huawei, a leading global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider. As pioneers in the field of phone conferencing solutions and a world-leading manufacturer of conference phones, we at Konftel are proud to team up with Huawei in a joint effort within conference solutions.

“We are delighted about forging this constructive partnership with Huawei”, says Torbjörn Karlsson, Konftel’s Product Manager. “Our strategy is to optimize and certify our products for the leading communications platforms. Together with our partners, we can guarantee a combination of performance and features that deliver convenience and business value across a wide spectrum of unified communications environments”.

Supports Huawei’s conference bridge

The first visible result of the partnership is the certification of the Konftel 300IP conference phone for Huawei Cloud UC solution. Konftel has also made customizations in the conference phone’s software for Huawei Cloud UC. Examples are that the Konftel 300IP can be connected directly to Huawei’s conference bridge, which can handle up to 20 participants, and that the Konftel 300IP integrates easily with the customer company’s corporate directory.

“Clear and simple communication is a requisite for success in today’s fast-moving business climate. It is best done through direct dialogue even when a meeting in the same room is not possible. It is fantastic that we are now able to offer tools for professional conference audio with HD quality for remote meetings of all sizes, and which are also compatible with our platform”, says Wumo, Director of Cloud Enterprise Communications Western European, Huawei.

As part of the partnership Huawei and Konftel will carry out joint marketing activities. Between March 20 and 24, we will be present in Huaweis stand at the CeBIT trade show in Hannover, Germany. We will demonstrate the special features for Konftel 300IP in the Huawei UCC solutions and other suitable combinations of Konftel and Huawei offerings.
